Hybrid striped bass, or wipers as they're often called, provide exciting fishing near Minneapolis, Kansas, with Milford Lake being the primary destination. These hard-fighting fish are stocked in Milford and offer a fantastic angling experience. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as wipers follow schools of baitfish. Trolling crankbaits or casting swimbaits near points and humps are popular techniques. Live shad is also an excellent bait choice when wipers are actively feeding on the surface. A local tip: pay attention to bird activity; diving birds often indicate the presence of baitfish schools and feeding wipers. Milford Lake can get windy, so be prepared for potentially rough conditions, especially on the main lake. Check lake conditions and wind forecasts before heading out.
